       quick_halt - stop the system quickly

SYNOPSIS
       quick_halt, quick_reboot, quick_poweroff

DESCRIPTION
       Fast system shutdown, that does not carefully stop every single service
       in the specified order, but just sends a TERM and KILL to everyone  and
       makes   sure   the   filesystems	  get  shut  down  properly  prior  to
       reboot/halt/poweroff

DIAGNOSTICS
       If you're not the superuser,  you  will	get  the  message "You need to
       be root to execute quick_halt".
